n for several months during the summer. You discover the green comes from a photosynthetic organism that grew at great numbers due to fertilizer spill in a nearby river. You have isolated the organism and are now testing its DNA. You extract all the DNA from your sample and find that there are three distinct kinds of DNA. Which of the following organisms could have been responsible for the bloom: fungus, bacteria, or protist? How do you know?

Blue-green algae affect freshwater, and it has a direct correlation to agricultural and urban runoff.

The heavy rains last spring most likely caused Lake Okeechobee to discharge water containing blue-green algae into rivers and canals. The bright green sludge oozed onto docks, dams and rivers and through tributaries into the ocean.

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are a group of prokaryotic, autotrophic microorganisms that contain the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll and phycocyanin), Therefore, the DNA shows bacteria

Bacteria is the correct answer

Answer:

A) cells of the tail dying and the nutrients being absorbed and reused by the body

Explanation:

The tails of the tadpole die when metamorphosing into an adult frog through a process Called Apoptosis. Apoptosis happens when it’s necessary for the body to kill some cells for development or other factors.

The cells which are killed produces nutrients which are then used and reabsorbed back into the body system of the frog.

1) The answer is <span>bluegreen algae
</span>
Bluegreen algae or cyanobacteria <span>are thought to have started life on earth because they converted the atmosphere that didn't have a lot of oxygen, into an atosphere with enough oxygen to exist life. That </span>oxygen was a product of their photosynthesis.

2) The answer is lightning.
<span>By Primordial Soup Theory, life began as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and lighning (a form of energy) to make amino acids. Aminoacids are necessary to build proteins, and proteins are necessary for all the organisms.</span>
